There are so many ways to give to the Kitsap Rescue Mission!

The Kitsap Rescue Mission is a “community” organization. Without your donations of resources, talent and time, we would not be able to continue our critical work!

Your contributions help us to us provide emergency shelter, meals, life changing services, and hope to those experiencing homelessness throughout Kitsap County.
